Sheet music to one song is provided with the Producer's Copy of the Script. (The tune is 'John Brown's Body' - or 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic' if you prefer.)

Style

One-act youth comedy play. Single set (though a cricket pavillion on Neptune is a rather bizarre location).

Synopsis

A group of ladies from 1913 are marooned on Neptune. How did they get there, and why are they still alive? Two crews from competing nations arrive to try and puzzle out the mystery, but they need to know what happened to the other missions first...

Minimum Male roles = 6. Minimum Female roles = 2. Minimum total with doubling = 19. Minimum total without doubling = 21. No chorus. There are options to double some parts, to split the narrator's role amongst multiple players and to add a non-speaking chorus.The characters include a camel.

Run Time

Around 25 minutes. [Estimated!]

Music

None.

Style

Rhyming nativity play (from the perspective of the Magi). Lightly humorous take. No set requirements, simple props (give or take the camel).

Minimum Male roles = 6. Minimum Female roles = 3. Minimum total with doubling = 12. Minimum total without doubling = 12. No chorus. Whilst there isn't a formal requirement for a chorus, there is plenty of opportunity for adding Montagues, Capulets and ball guests.

Run Time

Around 30 minutes. [Estimated!]

Music

Piano and Vocal scores for nine songs are supplied with the Producer's Copy of the script.

Style

Romeo and Juliet told, as an irreverent verse play, by the protagonists and by narrators. A good introduction to Shakespeare's story! (The specified run-time is the minimum - extending the ball and the fight will add time!)

Synopsis

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet condensed into a short verse play for kids, then lengthened because everyone gets so excited that they need to sing about it. Boy meets girl, love overcomes the family feud - but only for the lovers. Swordplay turns rivals into kebabs. Mistakes are made and the heroes die. (You see, it's a soppy love story.)

Comedy play for kids. Nominally in 5 acts, but of one-act length and can be played continously.

Synopsis

King Boleslav has a very relaxed attitude to ruling his country. So relaxed that he is in danger of losing it when the Kingdom Inspection Team, led by the dreaded Countess Zaria, pay him a call. If the Countess is hoping to find a vital and dynamic monarch, a loving royal family and a powerful army, Boleslav knows that she is going to be sorely disappointed. It’s just as well that an enterprising and ambitious traveller hatches a plan to rescue the situation.

Minimum Male roles = 4. Minimum Female roles = 3. Minimum total with doubling = 15. Minimum total without doubling = 15. Chorus. The chorus - patrons of the Royal Oak and members of the Roundhead army - is optional.

Run Time

Around 30 minutes. [Estimated!]

Music

None.

Style

Historical (in the acurate as a Hollywood epic sense of the word) comedy drama for kids, set during the English Civil War.

Synopsis

King Charles And The Cheese is the entirely (give or take most of it) true story of how a simple piece of cheese altered the course of English history. The English Civil War rages on but, after a heavy defeat at the Battle of Worcester, the would-be King Charles II attempts to make his way to, hopefully temporary, exile in France. In hot pursuit are Charles' enemy Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of All England and his Roundhead army Charles takes cover at the Royal Oak Inn but Cromwell and his men are upon him in short order. Is Charles doomed or can salvation be found in the Royal Oak's larder?

Minimum Male roles = 2. Minimum Female roles = 4. Minimum total with doubling = 10. Minimum total without doubling = 18. No chorus. As written, there are four archaeologists and six villagers, but these numbers are flexible in either direction.

Run Time

Around 30 minutes. [Estimated!]

Music

None.

Style

One-act comedy adventure for kids. In theory, there are three locations, but these can be indicated by a minimum of furniture (or lack of furniture).

Synopsis

L.A. Gendry, all-action female adventurer, is enlisted to help Professor Polonius and his daughter excavate the recently discovered tomb of the little-known Egyptian King Kalos. The tomb's treasure is to be the centrepiece of a museum for the benefit of all. At least that is the Professor's plan. However the tomb is said to be cursed and criminal mastermind The Scar (incidentally L.A. Gendry's arch enemy) has other ideas.

The Producer's Copy of the script includes suggestions for 9 songs to accompany the script. Lazy Bee Scripts does not supply any sheet music with this script.

Style

Children's nativity play.

Synopsis

A charming and refreshing retelling of the nativity story. The old donkey uses flashbacks to tell the children about his younger days and his part in the events of the very first Christmas. The nativity happenings unfold before us as all of the customary human and animal characters come to life with lots of opportunity for children of all abilities to take part. There is even the prospect of a comedy double act as the chickens get into their stride.

A play for (an audience of) children, set in a garden.Could be performed by children or a mixed age company performing for younger children.Adapted from Sheri Fink's US best-selling children's book of the same name.

Synopsis

Little Rose has been separated from her friends in the rose garden and finds herself in the adjacent weed patch, consequently finding herself different from the weeds. The play explores the concept of difference amongst children and gives strategies for overcoming the difficulties children have in dealing with feeling different.
